Meekness
|
Meekness is not "weakness", but rather a slave-like submission to God. Your
spirit is free from rebellion and pride. It is the hidden man of the heart - a meek
and quiet spirit - which is greatly valued by God
(I Peter 3:4).
Meekness or humility is defined as "freedom
from pride and arrogance; modest estimation of our own worth." Humility or meekness is
the opposite of pride. The Bible says that God resists the proud but gives grace to
the humble (I Peter 5:5)
, and it is the meek which will inherit the earth
(Psalm 37:11).
| Ephesians 4:1-2
|
"I beseech you that
ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, with all lowliness
and meekness, with longsuffering,
forbearing one another in love."
|
| Colossians 3:12
|
"Put on therefore, as the
elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering.
endureth continually."
